When they had me in that cell, I was beefin' wit' time…(Best of DaBoii)
Found myself listening to a lot of SOB x RBE at the tail-end of 2020, and though there might be times when Yhung T.O outshines his (former?) groupmates with his meandering hooks, DaBoii always hits the hardest with his raps. He delivers them in angry bursts: flurries of syllables landing on beat and each line laced with venom. Meanwhile the tone of his verses ranges from righteous indignation to gleeful hatred. Sometimes he’s paranoid and fatalistic (‘Ridin’, ‘Long Run’, ‘Right Hour’) other times brazen and fearless (‘Paramedic’, ‘When U See Me’) and sometimes he’s all of those things at once (‘Strapped’). But he seems to rap best on tracks like ‘Sum It Up’ and ‘Onna Gang’ when he embraces his role of pantomime villain for what it is: just a misanthrope here to sound out his nastiest thoughts.
